##Exit status of execution step=6

## While printing this message, JVM seems to initiate the output
## stream, so that it will not need more memory to print later,
## when the heap would fail to provide more memory.
##
## Note, that the test maintains especial static log[] field in
## order to avoid printing when the heap seems exhausted.
## Nevertheless, printing could arise OutOfMemoryError even
## after all the memory allocated by the test is released.
##
## That problem is caused by the known JDK/HotSpot bugs:
## 4239841 (P1/S5) 1.1: poor garbage collector performance
## 4245060 (P4/S5) poor garbage collector performance
##
## This message is just intended to work-around that problem.
## If printing should fail even so, the test will try to return
## the exit status 96 instead of 97 to indicate the problem.
## However, the test may fail or even crash on some platforms
## suffering the bug 4239841 or 4245060.
